National Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Materials, April 22-23, 2019
Materials are basic building blocks for all devices, components, subsystems, systems and are essential requirements for any development to take place. Globally, efforts are being made to develop new materials with improved performance in order to make the systems more efficient, more intelligent, environment friendly, cost effective, small in size, low power consumption etc. Keeping this in mind, National Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Materials was organized by Department of Applied Sciences in association with Materials Research Society of India (MRSI).
The technical program included keynote address, invited talks, contributory papers (oral and poster presentations). The topics coved were: Ferroelectrics, Pyroelectrics and Piezoelectrics; Multiferroics, Magnetic and Magneto-electric Materials; Functional nano-materials; Processing and characterization techniques; Polymers and composites; Semiconductor thin films and devices; Sensors, actuators and transducers. There were 18 invited talks by eminent researchers in the field and 134 contributory papers were presented in oral and poster sessions. In all these papers, 269 authors were involved from more than 50 institutions including DRDO & CSIR labs, DAE & DST Centres, IITs, NITs, BITS, Thapar; Central, State and Private Universities.
Financial support was provided by DRDO, MRSI and Society for Semiconductor Devices.
